Schumer’s office sends me these numbers, which align with my own reporting on judicial confirmations under Biden.

Bottom line is that Biden is crushing it on judges, filling vacancies much faster than any of his recent predecessors. pic.twitter.com/UnaB2p2Lxd
As Democrats haggle over Build Back Better, the Senate is churning out Biden-picked federal judges.

The Schumer-led Senate has confirmed six this week alone, bringing Biden's total to 25 judges.
For now, Biden is outpacing Trump, who had inked a total of 8 judges at this stage.
Schumer has done everything you could ask for, not only in terms of recommending professionally diverse judges for vacancies in New York, but in prioritizing Biden's picks on the Senate floor to ensure they get confirmed quickly. Bravo @SenSchumerhttps://t.co/xevq4DxvVR

New —> Joe Biden is quietly making history on the courts

Senate just confirmed his fifth circuit judge with a public defender background, matching Obama’s number over 8 years. Part of a White House push to rewrite the playbook for who gets to be a judge.https://t.co/T7F4NmgYUs
NEW: Biden has two more opportunities to fill seats on the Second Circuit, opening the door for him to bolster the liberal wing of a court already tipping toward a Democratic-appointed majority. https://t.co/ys1kFtad0J

Court expansion is not just about revenge, it's about REFORM. The federal system desperately needs more judges. The Senate needs to confirm judges Biden has nominated AND expand the courts to add more.

It's what McConnell would do.

Of those 53, a WH official says:
– 72% are women
– 28% are African-American
– 21% are Hispanic

President Biden has acted on @SenSchumer's recommendation and nominated Dale Ho, the top voting rights lawyer at @ACLU who argued against Trump's politicization of the census, to be a federal judge in NY. This is one of Biden's finest choices for the benchpic.twitter.com/IvKM5y16lo

Today’s Senate confirmation of Judge Veronica Rossman makes her the first-ever former public defender to serve on the Tenth Circuit—and flips the federal appeals court to a majority of Democratic appointees. https://t.co/jWO3Mrs2E9 pic.twitter.com/srzvIVagPA
